I’ve been working in consulting roles helping to solve problems and implement change for more than 20 years. I love working with people, I enjoy finding ways to make progress, so we can be proud of the changes we make. I’ve been fortunate to lead some really large initiatives and help make some big improvements to the way organisations operate. I specialise in business cases, business integration, programme and stakeholder management.

I am passionate about helping my clients make sense of and navigate the challenges and opportunities they are faced with in the current local and global context. In my career to date, I’ve been fortunate to contribute to some significant initiatives impacting NZ inc. These experiences have helped me be grounded in the practical realities within the full change spectrum from defining strategies to making sense of change through the design of operating models, and effective delivery of change programmes transitioning into new operating models. I work with my talented team and my clients to form meaningful business strategies and plans to navigate changes within their organisations, helping them realise sustainable benefits and be future fit.

I’ve been delivering change and helping organisations translate strategy and policy into action for more than 20 years. I’m passionate about building intelligent organisations founded on strong business and information architecture. I gain a great deal of satisfaction from working on tough problems and providing planned, organised logical solutions that help build the skills in my clients to tackle the challenges they face.

I have nearly 40 years of experience providing advisory services to both public and private sector clients. Much of this time was with an international, multi-disciplinary consulting firm where I was a partner for 24 years. This included leadership and governance roles. More recently, my focus has been on selected governance roles. I became an Independent Director of 3Plus Consulting in December 2020.

I have a powerful blend of executive, operational and project leadership experience. I am passionate about translating strategy into operations and implementing change in a way that drives transformation and culture change in a real and pragmatic way. I am comfortable with and take energy from working at the intersection between business and projects. My happy place is that of operational transformation working alongside senior leaders to achieve business outcomes and navigate complexity.

I am a passionate leader who puts people first to create customised solutions that deliver value and results for our clients. I help clients understand why change is necessary and implement strategies that fit their unique situations. I am experienced in key skills such as operating model design, organisation design, strategic planning and implementing change, which I have developed during my time working for a global consulting firm and my time in the health sector in Canada. By staying up to date with industry trends, I am committed to enabling positive outcomes that makes a difference.

I have developed extensive experience in a variety of disciplines across strategy, operational management, and programme and project management. I also have significant experience in the public sector in a variety of senior roles. My focus is helping clients understand the problems that they face and partnering with them, so they realise the opportunities that these present and they achieve the outcomes that they are seeking.

Throughout my career I have gained significant experience working in fast paced environments to support internal functions and, in the delivery of services to external customers. This experience has enabled me to build a strong foundation in operational management including project management, communications, negotiation, organisational planning, and leading people. I have a passion for ensuring that we work in a customer focused way to deliver quality outcomes and in continually improving the way we do business.

Delivering tangible outcomes that matter for my clients is what drives me. I have had the privilege of leading complex transformative initiatives across the public and private sectors over the past 20 years in New Zealand and North America. My background spans the full transformation spectrum, including strategy to design, practical agile delivery, business integration and business-led change, risk management, operational excellence and cloud and emerging technology adoption. I leverage this experience to empower our 3Plus and client teams to co-create long-term value.
